Lifebuoy Pool Alarm System - Pool Motion Sensor - Smart Pool Alarm That is Application Controlled. Powerful Sirens Blare at Poolside and Indoors

We have a pool right next to our house which is impossible to fence the device warns us if the surface of the water in the pool is disturbed.

Bought this for the summer - it works but you need more than one to feel safer around our pool (10m by 5) - it can be slow to alert

This is worth the money! I researched pool alarms when I became a grandma. This alarm is pricey, but worth the money. The alarm is easy to set up. The home unit is VERY loud. It works when something falls or drops into the pool and even when the solar cover is lifted. I bought this last summer. When I tried to use it this user, it wouldn’t work. I emailed tech support and told them what was happening and sent pictures of my unit and the app. They sent me a new pool unit for free. Would highly recommend this company!

Just remember to take it out or turn it off in high winds and storms.

First of all it was very easy to set up and is easy to operate through the app. The indoor unit needs to be placed as close as possible to the pool unit to ensure a good connection, however consider that you will need to access the indoor unit frequently. I placed the indoor unit high up and close to the ceiling as I didn't want the kids messing with it. As I am tall this is fine for me, but my partner cannot reach it now without standing on a chair, which is an issue due to the frequent nuisance alarms. I am reluctant to lower the unit as it looks better high up but may have to do to the number of nuisance alarms. The system works as intended as we find the alarm goes off if we go swimming and forget to turn it off. However, the pool unit is extremely sensitive even on the least sensitive setting, light wind and ripples will trigger the alarm. Due to the high number of nuisance alarms, sometimes in the middle of the night, we have to turn the unit off whenever the weather is less than perfect which kind of defeats the purpose of the system. It is therefore a battle between ensuring the system is on and operating and also not dealing with nuisance alarms. In summary, does it work well? YES, is it a perfect solution? NO. I wouldn't rely on it as a standalone safety device but in addition to a certified fence it serves a purpose. Just know that it isn't a set and forget device and will need frequent attention.

Ne fonctionne pas. L’app ne trouve pas l’unité intérieure même a 1cm ! Et reste bloquée sur le message d’erreur, impossible d’aller dans le menu. Passez votre chemin et ne faites pas la même erreur que moi. J’ai suivi les instructions et donc collé le support du produit sur ma piscine en liner, maintenant je ne peux plus l’enlever donc plus renvoyer cet article qui est arrivé incapable de fonctionner. On pourrait imaginer qu’avant de payer le sublime design de l’alarme et du packaging Lifebuoy aurait investi dans un contrôle des produits et qu’ils n’enverraient que des alarmes qui fonctionnent. Eh bien ce n’est pas le choix qu’ils ont fait. Je suis dégoûtée.

The past few weeks have been great! We had such peace of mind knowing we had this as a 2nd layer of protection. It worked great, passed every test with flying colors and we loved that it would re-set itself after we swam. But then, sadly, the reviews proved true: Now we're getting random false alarms throughout the day and night when the pool is perfectly still (see photo) not a ripple, not a breeze. Which thank God, brought to my attention that it was malfunctioning in other ways too. Aside from the false alarms, it wasn't protecting our pool when we thought it was. I tried turning it off and on, changing the sensitivity, checked the batteries, nothing has worked. It goes from being "ON" to "STANDBY" automatically offering us ZERO protection without us knowing. When it did manage to stay "ON" it failed every test run. We would have to be on top of it splashing for the alarm to sound. SO SCARY and DISAPPOINTING. LIFE BUOY - If your going to make a product to help prevent drowning, PLEASE make a product that is reliable and that WORKS!!! There are lives at stake here. If GOD FORBID, a child or pet drowns with one of these in the pool, where the family thought it was working and trusted this....?????????? Isn't there a product out there that actually works? It's hard to comprehend why with today's technology and resources, no one can get this right. The app is a whole other story. Crap. You have to be standing next to the unit for it to work. Lifebuoy Pool Alarm System - Great concept, bad execution. NOT RELIABLE. SO disappointing.
